nannofossiln.

Brit.

/ˈnanə(ʊ)ˌfɒsl/, U.S.

/ˈnænəˌfɑs(ə)l/,

/ˈnænoʊˌfɑs(ə)l/

Forms: 1900s– nannofossil, 1900s– nanofossil.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: English nannoplankton , nanoplankton n., fossil n.

Etymology: < nanno- (in nannoplankton, variant of nanoplankton n.) + fossil n. Compare French nanofossile (1968).

Geology.

A fossil of a minute planktonic organism, esp. a calcareous unicellular alga. Cf. earlier microfossil n. at micro- comb. form 1a(d).

ΚΠ

1962 Philos. Trans. (Royal Soc.) B. 245 273 Omitted from the list is a nannofossil which was illustrated under the name ‘unbestimmtes Skelettelement’;..this fossil is probably restricted to the uppermost Eocene.

1972 Sci. Amer. Dec. 33/2 The white ooze is a typical oceanic sediment, made up almost entirely of the skeletons of microfossils and nannofossils.

1981 J. McPhee Basin & Range 202 People who identify deep-ocean nannofossils.

1996 Sci. Amer. Oct. 13/2 At the scale of just tens of nanometers, minerals can grow into shapes that are virtually impossible to distinguish from nanofossils.
